Hi,

I was recently exposed to the fantastic works of the surrealist painter Andre Breton and was fascinated. Now I am trying to learn more and more about his GR8 works. Here is a short sample of his work. I wonder if and how do you like it ?
Best regards,

I think you attached the wrong attachment; you attached the apoctalyptic artist Johnson and not Breton.

Surrealism is probably my least favorite type of art, I usually find the metaphors it uses uninteresting and a lot of it is too technical and not personal enough to move me, so maybe I'm not the right person to answer this. I'm as impressed by his work as I am with Dali or magritte - which is, not that much, I mean, it's nice and I understand the contribution to art in general, but not something I would hang in my house or be moved to see in a museum.

I do like the more personal surrealists like Max Ernts and De Chirico - if you like Surreal art, maybe give them a shot as well.
